The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) established by His Late Highness Maharana Bhagwat Singhji Mewar in 1969 has been facilitating the development of Udaipur as a heritage-city. In order to maintain its rich cultural customs, festivals like Ashwa Poojan occupy an important place in the calendar of regal festivals organized every year. This year, the MMCF completes 38 years in service to the people of Udaipur. Education and outreach programmes, health care, heritage preservation and conservation, museum management and preservation of places of religious worship are some of the key activities of the MMCF. The foundation has instituted annual international and national awards granted for services of a permanent value rendered to society. In addition, MMCF has set up a number of subsidiary trusts for religious and charitable purposes to give assistance to the underprivileged without distinction of caste, creed or religion.
